Reichstag Is Not to Know Contents
of Communication Until Today;
. Simons Explains "Status."
1 BERLTN, April 13. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The ultimate total
Indemnity which Germany agrees to
pay the allies is 100,000,000.000 gold
marks ($30,000,000,000), as against
126.000,000,000 ($56,000,000,000). de
nanded by the allies in their Paris
terms.
This has been positively stated by
those close to the government, al
though the German counter-proposals
have not been made public here.
Dr. Simons, the foreign secretary,
did not present the new proposals to
the reichstag today because of an
understanding .with the American em
bassy and for the additional reason
that the note to President Harding
suggests that he feel free to query
back for further information or the
elucidation of any point not clear, be
fore submitting the note to the
entente.
The Germans suggested making the
annuities in the payment of the
reparations flexible, dependent upon
the recovery of German industries.
An international loan was suggested,
to be floated immediately for the pur
pose of placing ready cash at the
disposal of the entente, but no sum
Is named.
Germany expressed her willingness
to pledge the customs revenues as
guaranteed and further offered to
deliver manufactured articles to the
allies with the understanding that
Germany will pay the producers and
get credit on the indemnities. Ger
many also offered immediate partici
pation in the work of restoration In
the devastated areas; labor and ma
terials to be eupplied by Germany
and credited against the indemnl
. ties.
No suggestion was made of Ger
many's willingness to assume the
Indebtedness of the allied powers to
the United States.
County Conamissloners Promise to
Investigate as Result of Com-
4
plaints of Residents.
Spooning in automobiles along the
county highways will be investigated
and stopped as soon as possible, de
cided the county commissioners yes
terday. Formal complaints from resi
dents along the Humphreys and Hew
itt boulevards were presented to the
commissioners yesterday by H. M. Eas
terly, who said that residents along
other boulevards bad also protested
against Improper conduct of persons
in automobiles.
Mr. Esterly asked that action be
taken to stop the spooners, who often
park along the roads in the afternoons
as well as in the evenings. He said
that he started some time ago to take
the numbers of automobile licenses
and that in some cases he had the
names of the owners of the cars. He
urged that "this disgraceful practice'
be stopped at once. .
The sheriffs office will co-operate
with the office of the district attorney
and the commissioners by patrolling
some of the roads, according to pres
ent plans, and taking the numbers of
machines and .attempting to make
prosecutions.
Mr. Esterly said that the "license
numbers which he and other resi
dents along the highways had col
lected would be available for the officers.

Course 3Ir. Hughes Will Take Is
"ot Yet Indicated.
WASHINGTON. D. C, April 25.
The only Information received by
Secretary . Hughes today concerning
the character of Germany's counter
proposals regarding reparations was
that contained in press dispatches.
The communication embodying the
proposals, which was handed yester
day to Loring Dresel, American high
commissioner at Berlin, by Dr. Walter
Simons, the German foreign min
ister, had not arrived when the sec
retary finished his day's work.
It was assumed the delay was
due to transmission difficulties either
on the cables or by wireless.
NWhat course Mr. Hughes win take
In dealing with the question was not
indicated today. It was said, how
ever, that until he had studied the
counter-proposals carefully the com
munication would not be made public
unless It hid already been published
by Germany or by one of the allies.
to whom a copy or summary may
have been sent.
Diplomatic representatives here be
lieved it probable that the secretary
would take up the questions involved
H directly mith the foreign offices of
the allied governments, rather than
with their representatives here, in
order to expedite negotiations. It
was pointed out that the supreme
council Is due to meet Saturday and
the French are expected to begin
their occupation of the Ruhr May 1
in case an agreement is not reached
with Germany in the controversy.

CHICAGO, April 25. Valparaiso
university at Valparaiso, Ind., is a
hotbed of Bolshevism, communism and
other ctilts, and all efforts to thwart
this propaganda have failed because
of "sinister inside influences," de
clared Daniel Russell Hodgdon, presi
dent, who today sent his resignation
to the trustees.
"The stream of propaganda," de
clared Dr. Hodgdon, "can be traced
to the very heart of the federal gov
ernment, so firmly are its protago

names of those incriminated would
prove a bombshell in the lap of ad

SALEM, Or., April 25. (Special.)
Poppy's Dorothea, owned by Frank
Lynn of Perrydale, and holder of the
world's record for a 3-year-old Jer
sey, died bere last night. The animal

and 17,800 pounds of milk in a single
year, and was valued by Mr. Lynn at
(15.000.
Dorothea, as she was best known
among cattle breeders, weighed 1400
pounds and was exceedingly large
for Jerseys. It was said here today
that her loss Is one of the greatest
that has been sustained by Jersey
breeders for many years.
NEW TORK. April 25. (Special.)
Thumb-worn, blotted leaves of a thick
pebble-leather-bound diary rustled in
the gloved fingers of Mrs. Helen El
wood Stokes as she resumed today her
story of life with the gnarled-faced
millionaire.
There, in that minute record of
treasured, trivial things, was her an
swer to the army of eavesdropping
witnesses who had linked her in mis
conduct with the co-respondents. In
answer to the tales of abandon, she
nolnted a trembling: finger to a
crawled entry marking the birth of
her child, her fears, the preparations
her illness.
More at ease than when she first
took the stand, Mrs. Stokes still
seemed like a young school girl taxed
with publicity, with wrongdoing, gig
gling nervously, flushing and fidget-
ng at a pointed question, but the
comparison ends there.
Ill-Treatment Is Alleged.
In her blue eyes was the Sophisti
cation of a woman, and in maturity,
that sought and found opportunity
to wedge in accusation after accusa
tion against the old man not far
away, still busily taking notes of her
story.
"Mr. Stokes did not treat me right,"
was the way she put it as a gener
alization. Later she specified he
"starved" her. He brought men into
their apartment when she was about
to become a mother. He refused to
give her a latch-key, "although the
cook had one." After the birth of
Jimmle, her eldest, she did "get
proper food." she said.
Whereas Mr. Stakes' witnesses'had
described her flitting from apartment
house to cafe, artist's studio, the
daily record of her activities during
this period were summed up in five
or six-line entries. Many of them
were alike:
"Breakfast with Will (Mr. Stokes).
"Lunch with Dr. and Mrs. Hend
ricks. "Dinner with (names of friends).
"Retired at eight.
"Will went out."

Two Similar Propositions Are In
troduced in House Informal
Conference Slated.
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 25.
Progress on the initial administration
peace policy to end the state of war
by "resolution of congress was made
today in both branches of congress.
In the senate, the Knox peace reso
lution, revised in minor detail, was
reported favorably by the foreign re
lations committee, and announcement
was made by Senator Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, republican leader, that It
would be called up tomorrow.
Two similar resolutions, dealing
separately with Germany and Aus
tria, were introduced in the house by
Chairman Porter of the foreign af
fairs committee, who announced they
would not be taken up until after the
senate acts on the Knox measure.
Although . the senate is to begin
formal consideration tomorrow of the
Knox resolution, it was not certain
tonight that actual debate would
start before Wednesday.
An informal conference tomorrow
between Senator Underwood of Ala
bama, democratic leader, and minor
ity members of the foreign rela
tions committee, with a few other
prominent democratic senators, was
planned to discuss procedure.
Senator Underwood said he ex
pected democratic action would be
similar to that with regard to . the
first Knox resolution, which was ve
toed by former President Wilson.
That senate debate would consume
only a few days wa.s predicted by re-
pubflcan and democratic leaders. A
final vote this week was regarded
possible. '
The final draft of the Knox resolu
tion reported today differed little
from Senator Knox's original me as
ure. It would repeal the resolutions
declaring a state of war with Ger
many and Austria, reserve all Amer
lean rights and privileges under the
treaties of Versailles and Trianon,
and hold, subject to future disposi-
ion, the property of enemy aliens.
The committee vote on reporting
the Knox ' resolution was -9 to 2, all
republicans present favoring and the
only two democrats present opposing
it. Other democratic committee mem
bers were given the privilege of re
cording their opposition.
As distinguished from the senate
measure, the Porter resolutions would
declare the state of war at an end.
ut without repeal of the war reso
lutions. Representative Porter ex
plained it was "unnecessary and per
haps unwise" t6 repeat the war reso
lutions because such action "might
be construed as a disavowal of the
war."

Foreign Debt Is Reported to Hae
Been Reduced 117,000,000
Pounds Up to March 31.
LONDON, April 23. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Austen Chamberlain
ex-chancellor Of the exchequer, tak
ing the place of the present chancel
lor. Sir Robert S. Home, presented the
budget In the house of commons to
day. Its leading feature, removal of
the excess profits duty, was an
nounced some time ago. The chan
cellor's estimates of revenue and ex
penditure of a year ago have been
borne out with remarkable accuracy,
a surplus of 230,500,000 ($1,120,230,-
000), only about 4,000,000 less than
the estimated surplus, being recorded.
N additional taxation was proposed
and there will be no further reduction
of taxation in the current year. The
chief points are removal of the surtax
on cigars and replacement of the ex
isting fixed duty of seven shillings
and an ad valorem duty of 33 1-3 per
cent o sparkling wines by a specific
duty of 15 shillings a gallon.
The corporation profits tax proved
to be a disappointment, but the chan
cellor .hoped the tax would justify
itself the coming year.
The chancellor characterized the
last year as one of the most re
markable in England's history, and
declared that the financial results
were satisfactory.
The bouse was chiefly interested in
details concerning debt reductions,
especially the announcement that the
debt to the United States had been re
duced by 75,000,000 during the last
year and that interest on the war
debt to . the United States must be
provided for next year.
The debt to Canada had been re
duced by 20,000,000 in the year, while
all debts to Japan, Spain, Argentina,
Uruguay and Holland had been wiped
out. He announced that in two years
the external debt bad been reduced
by 203,000.000, and said the remain
ing 5 per cent five-year notes ma
turing at New .York in November
amounting to $11,000,000, would be
paid off.
The actual receipts for last year,
Mr. Chamberlain said, were 1,425,900,
000, while the national expenditure
was 1,195,428,000. The total amount
applied to reduction of the national
debt was 259,500,000. The foreign
debt was reduced by 117,000,000 to
1,161,560,000 on March 31.
The ordinary expenditure for 1921
22, Mr. Chamberlain declared, would
be 974,023,000, while ordinary re
ceipts, with dropping of .the excess
profits duty and two othtr small
changes, would be 1,053.150,000, leav
ing a surplus of 84,127.000.
He estimated the total sum avail
able .for debt redemption .from the
surplus this year would be 103,
000,000. Mr. Chamberlain indicated the gov
ernment wa3 planning for payment
of interest of the debt to the United
States.
In dealing with the subject of the
national debt, he said that interest on
the debt amounting to more than
40,000,000 annually was among the
new items to be provided for next
year.

NEW TORK, April 23. Lines tend
Ing toward a nation-wide strike on
May 1 of more than 175,000 unionize
marine engineers, firemen and sea
men. were closely drawn here today
whenthe unions refused to conside
a new contract proposed by the own
era carrying wage cuts averaging 2
to 35 per cent.
The engineers, through their na
tional president, William R. Ryan,
followed their refusal by Issuing
strike order effective that date If th
cut is put into effect. The fircme
Land seamen, through Andrew Furu
seth. president of the International
Seamen's union, said their men had
voted on the ' matter and they, too,
would quit work if the wage cut was
made effective. Overseas and coast
wise American ships on the Atlantic,
Gulf of Mexico and Mexico will be in
volved unless the differences are ad
Justed.
Benson Calls Conference.
At the close of the conferences to
day it was announced that Admiral
Benson, chairman of the United State
shipping board, had called- a confer
ence of representatives of the owners
and unions next Wednesday at Wash
ington. It was indicated federal in
fluence will be used to bring abou
an agreement and prevent a strike.
The conferences today wero th
culmination of a series of meetings
between representatives of the unions
and the owners. The engineers las
week announced a wage cut would
not be accepted, and today the decla
ration was reiterated. At previous
conferences the firemen and seamen
insisted that wage questions be made
secondard to enforcement of alleged
violations of the La Follette law,
abolishment of the shipping board'
sea service bureau and preference in
employment of union men.
Union Demand Refused.
The answer of the owners today
was that the La Follette seamen's
law was a federal statute, and the
sea service bureau was a governmen
agency. It was further stated that
this bureau was furnishing American
ships with seamen, 80 per cent of
whom were American citizens, while
the seamen's unions were furnishing
a negligible percentage of Americans.
Preference in employment of union
men was declared to be discrimination
against Americans and the demands
were refused.
As a result of the refusal, Mr,
Furusetb c.nd his associates left the
meeting and declared that the men
would refuse to work after May 1 if
the wage reduction was put into ef
fect.
Ships on the Great lakes and tugs,
barges and other craft employed in
harbor transportation would not be
affected by the strike, union leaders
said, as they are under separate con
tracts. A tie-up of deep-sea and
coastwise ships would be felt by sev
eral hundred thousand men.
Thousands of Ships Affected.
Recent reports of American ship
ping show that the United States
shipping board owns 1773 ocean
going ships of 7,790.736 gross tons
the majority in the hands of private
operators. In addition there are 1917
ships of 5,125,273 gross tons owned
by private companies. Of these ap
proximately 50 per cent of the ship
ping board tonnage and 25 per cent of
the privately owned ships, are now
tied up, due, the owners and oper
ators said, to a lack of cargo.
American flag passenger vessels
which possibly would be affected by
a strike Include those of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine, Hamburg
and Antwerp service; the United
States Mail Steamship company and
United American lines in the Euro
pean trade and all coastwise lines
operated on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts and between cities on the At
lantic and Gulf coasts.
